Rip Rap (100 Lb)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in 100 Lb Size Range
Rip Rap in the 100 lb size range is a large, heavy-duty aggregate composed of durable stone pieces, each weighing approximately 100 pounds. This material is typically produced by quarrying and breaking down massive rocks into angular, interlocking chunks. The substantial size and weight of these stones make them highly effective for stabilizing areas exposed to severe erosion or strong water flow.
The 100 lb size is particularly important for high-energy environments, such as shorelines, riverbanks, bridge abutments, and large drainage channels, where smaller aggregates would be displaced by water or weather. Rip Rap of this scale is commonly used in both residential and commercial projects to protect slopes, prevent soil loss, and reinforce embankments. While its large size offers excellent resistance to movement and superior erosion control, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. Installation typically requires heavy equipment due to the weight of each stone.
